A trail of two moon landers: Firefly's Blue Ghost and ispace's Resilience lift off [i]Two private spacecraft are now on their way to attempting separate landings on the moon. One is expected to take 45 days to arrive in lunar orbit, while the other is expected to take four to five months — despite sharing the same ride off Earth. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched on Wednesday (Jan. 15) carrying Firefly Aerospace's first "Blue Ghost" and ispace's second Hakuto-R lunar lander, named "Resilience." Liftoff occurred at 1:11 a.m. EST (0611 GMT) from Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the same launch pad from where all of the Apollo moon landing missions began their journeys.[/i]
